The Louisville Cardinals will face the Cincinnati Bearcats for a seventh-place match at the Maui Invitational on Wednesday night. The Cardinals suffered a defeat in their last game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a scoreline of 70-38. With that defeat, the Cardinals are now on a five-game losing streak going into this one.
The Bearcats too lost their last game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, which took their record to 3-3. The Bearcats possess a good defense, but that didn't seem to work out the last time around against the Buckeyes, which cost them the opportunity to advance in the championship.
The Cardinals and Bearcats have previously met ten times during the NCAA regular season and shared the spoils of those games evenly.
